Fodor's Expert Review Hacienda Chichén & Yaxkin Spa
Carretera 180, Km 120, Chichén-Itzá, Yucatán, 97751, Mexico Fodor's Choice
At this refurbished butter-yellow hacienda, cottages are all uniquely decorated with the owner's artwork and vintage furniture and are connected by pathways that wind through beautiful grounds complete with pool surrounded by palms. Rooms don't have TVs, Internet, or phones, but there's satellite TV and Wi-Fi in a common area. The property is filled with hidden treasures, including a small chapel, a sacred cave, and a gift shop that donates 100% of its profits to local communities. The on-site Yaxkin Spa, directed by a Maya healer, uses natural ingredients to cleanse the body from toxins and has won awards for its holistic approach to wellness.
